The guidance promotes consistent high-quality application of ISAE 3000 (Revised) in sustainability and other external reporting assurance engagements to:
- strengthen the influence of such engagements on the quality of extended external reporting;
- enhance trust in the resulting assurance reports; and
- increase the credibility of extended external reports so that they can be trusted and relied upon by their intended users.
